"Its sort of amazing to me that we haven't had a law to ban the sale of that." Tierney replied."

Night vision goggles specially made to military specifications that allow the user to identify U.S. troops at night.

Oh no. "Military Specifications". A lot of high-end equipment is "military specification". I've got two CZ P01's and a stack of "military specification" ham radio gear to prove it. This is more "gun show loophole" alarmist crap.
